\fBconv_lpd\fR [\fB-c\fR printers | \fB-c\fR printcap] [\fB-n\fR] \fIfile\fR
.fi

.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
\fBconv_lpd\fR converts  \fBLPD\fR printer configuration information from
\fIfile\fR to a \fBprinters.conf\fR or a  \fBprintcap\fR file (see
\fBprinters.conf\fR(5)). \fIfile\fR specifies the name of the input file, and
can be either in \fBprinters.conf\fR or  \fBprintcap\fR format. If  \fIfile\fR
is in  \fBprinters.conf\fR format, it converts it to a \fBprintcap\fR file. If
\fIfile\fR is in  \fBprintcap\fR format, it converts it to a
\fBprinters.conf\fR file.
